Jan Allison Poet Free verse

Humour

I spell it humour, you may spell it humor
The ‘correct’ spelling of this word is important 
‘U’ need humour in your life 
If ‘U’ don’t have it, your world will be dull
The same rule applies to colour
‘U’ need colour in your life too
So please humour me with my spelling and ‘U’ can have some fun

Jiril Clemons October 7, 2014 at 6:39 PM Carefree, but shortly brilliant piece, Jan. Before this poem, I never realized the "U" could be "used" in unique ways for the individual in question. Nice piece. Can't wait to read more just as enjoyable. Check out some of mine. Might find some you like. Peace. Jan Allison October 7, 2014 at 6:46 PM Thanks for the lovely comment Jiril. I will check your work out:-) hugs jan xxx

Demetrios Trifiatis October 4, 2014 at 3:58 PM If U will make YOU my friend then I will spell humour any way you please: with U or without... YOU! I am with U and YOU here!

I am so sorry for any confusion before Demetrios and oh boy how I love hugs from lovely inspirational people on here - how I wish we could all meet up and hug for real :-) Hugs Jan xxx
